JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION Debunks Myths and Addresses Unanswered Questions

Academic journals on the subject of early America often over-intellectualize topics and can easily intimidate casual readers. Popular websites and periodicals, when they do tackle the Revolutionary War, typically don't provide the substance, depth or breadth of historical study craved by serious readers. Aiming to fill the middle ground void is the new book Journal of the American Revolution (ISBN: 9780966075182; Ertel Publishing; November 2013; $26.95 U.S.; Hardcover; History).

The book is a remarkably presented collection of never-before-published essays and remastered articles from the webzine Journal of the American Revolution (allthingsliberty.com), which was founded in January 2013 by Todd Andrlik, author of Reporting the Revolutionary War (Sourcebooks, 2012). The book and website are edited by historians Todd Andrlik, Hugh T. Harrington and Don N. Hagist, and feature numerous expert contributors.

"After publishing 200 articles online for 250,000 readers, we are reversing the publishing trend, going digital to print, and offering our readers this stunning collector's print edition of important historical research and writing," said Andrlik.

In a world of increasing historical illiteracy and apathy, Journal of the American Revolution publishes passionate, creative and smart content intended to make history more palatable. It aims to delight casual readers, novice historians and expert scholars equally. Its content has been featured by MSNBC, Smithsonian, Slate and many more. The book presents groundbreaking story lines via a healthy variety of in-depth features and engaging columns, in both short- and long-form, with an eye for accuracy over legend. Each article is accompanied by high definition images - portraits, maps, photos and more - including some that are appearing in print for the first time.
